Bernard H. (Red) Coll, 80, of Interlachen, passed away on May 4, 2002 at his home.

He was born in Fowlerville, Mich., the son of Charles H. and Agnes Devin Coll. He attended school in Fowlerville until joining the United States Coast Guard, serving in World War II. He later acquired his GED. He was a member of Teamsters Local 299 in Detroit where he worked in the trucking industry. While living in New Hampshire for 7 years, he was a supervisor for Asplundh Tree Service. In 1982, Red moved to Florida, coming from Fenton, and went to work as a dispatcher for O'Steen Brothers of Gainesville until his retirement in 1995. He enjoyed fishing, camping and traveling.
He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Lorraine Charles Coll.

The funeral service was held at Dillingham Liverance Niblock Funeral Home in Fowlerville, Mich., on Saturday, May 11, 2002 with Elder Charles Moore as officiant. Interment followed at Greenwood Cemetery. Military honors were provided by Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post No. 6464 of Fowlerville and the United States Coast Guard.
Watts Funeral Home, San Mateo, was in charge of the local arrangements.

NOTE: At one time I believed that he may have emigrated to the USA (Iowa) - see census data below. However, I now believe that it is more likely that he is in the Channel Islands census data (1901) - which keeps with the family legend that he "left home and died in England."
